Welcome Week marks the beginning of your journey at Lancaster University Leipzig. From your first workshops and getting to know our campus to meeting your lecturers, completing your enrolment and settling into life in Leipzig, this week is all about helping you get off to a great start.
Throughout the week, you’ll have the opportunity to meet our staff and fellow students, discover the campus and your new surroundings, and take care of important practical steps such as setting up your health insurance.
